Beschreibung
Being anxious about something is pretty normal. Many persons are affected by Mathematics anxiety or feelings of tension that interfere with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems. This disabling condition can manifest itself in ways like profuse sweating, nervousness, intense fear, frustration, helplessness, emotional blocks, bizarre behavior, negative attitudes, cyclical avoidance, working memory blocks, lack of motivation, depression, low self esteem, reduced self efficacy, inappropriate assumptions, lack of achievement, learning difficulties, erroneous beliefs, pessimism, doubt, distrust, and withdrawal resulting in failure to achieve. This book exposes some possible causes of mathematics anxiety and offers tried-and-tested, hands-on, practical ways to manage it. Providing food for thought are specially selected quotations from the public domain. Shareware graphics that are meant to serve as stimulants for engagement and pleasure punctuate the text. Stories from selected individuals carrying pseudonyms for confidentiality and anonymity detail their personal experiences with mathematics anxiety and how they were able to conquer their fears. Enjoy
